What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Redfokker]

Amazed and impressed by all the great hats i've seen over the last days! Crazy busy at work, so no time to comment on all the individual hats, unfortunately.

Bloody child today with absolutely shocking wind chill.

A SBCD in a foggy mist earlier this morning. Just cloudy now but rain in the forecast.

Love that mid ribbon Jack.

The light/dark interplay with the ribbons, binding and felt is sweet. Great new hat Red.

Thanks Michael.

Yes, the clean up is on the books. Our Arborist says it was going to go sometime. Now to figure out some "wet feet" trees to replace them with. The fence guy is coming tomorrow.

Hope you get back to "normal quickly." The arborist and fence guy lives at my house and he wears caps/hats.

Oh wow. That thing is just golden, Red.

You are a braver man than I. You are an example to us all~

Lotta fine looking lids this Wednesday afternoon. Had to jump into a couple of more hat projects. Two of my Resistol Stagecoach conversions were too snug for me. I did other hats on the same block and they came out perfect but for some reason two of my Stagecoaches were still too snug. So, I had to take them up on a size larger block. Could be that these were 71/8 before I sized them up and the others were actual 7 1/4. I don't know why I got different results on the same block. Anyway, these Stagecoaches are pretty thick felted and stiff and can be stubborn to work with. I got it resized and put back together. It sports a generous straight sided 6 inch open crown, creased 4 3/4 at the pinch with a rake sloping to 4 inches in the back. It also has a 2 3/4 snap brim and a 3/8 thin ribbon I took from an old OR....I'll have more in the Conversion Corral

You're reading the wrong book, Charlie.

Thanks, Matt. Yeah, I love a deep diamond, but have come to appreciate variety. Back to the diamond today (after all, I am a baseball fan).

Great Twenty, by the way. I only have one Cavanagh edge hat, and never wear it.

Thanks Jim.

You can always wear the center dent to celebrate the center field position.

Why don't you wear your felted edge hat? Too stingy?

What happened to bloody her, Serge?! I hope there'll be no scar.
The cap, however, is just spectacular!!

LOL. Thank you, autocorrect [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

My first vintage was a Disney I found in a trip to Ft. Worth. It's dimensions are a little smaller than my tastes now, but it's a fine hat. I think the brim is 2 1/4". That's a little short, but not too short. It's buried in a box somewhere. I'll dig it out.

Groovy. I look forward to it making an appearance.

Disney is a brand I've always been curious about. I've never handled an example and have always wanted to. I keep my eyes peeled for them.

Interesting history... lots of financial struggles with ownership and production of the brand bouncing all over the place. Nice write-up here from Mr. Bowers: http://www.thehattedprofessor.com/disney.html

Greetings All:
Thanks for all the kind words for the Vit-Strat last post.
Today it’s a Borsalino. One of my most favorite hats to feel. So very nice felt. It’s an Ecosti in color Lino (linen), 5x Marque Grand Luxe. I think it’s pretty Grand too. Age idk.
Be well. Bowen
